Prototype: With the MRCE Vectron 193 701, SBB Cargo International is once again realizing a special locomotive dedicated to its subsidiary RT&S. Two different designs with sights and content typical of the region were developed for the Duisburg-based company, one of which depicts the historical past of the up-and-coming industry and the other depicts today’s Ruhr area. In keeping with the design, the locomotive has a coat of arms specially created for the locomotive on all four corners, which represents a combination of the distinctive office building with the headquarters of RT&S and SBB Cargo Deutschland in Duisburg and the logo for the coal and mining industry.
